NEW YORK, NY, January 16, 2019 — This March, Japanese lifestyle brand MUJI will open a new store in Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States. Spanning 9,230 square feet of retail space featuring a broad array of fashion, home, beauty, travel and lifestyle products, MUJI Hudson Yards will be among the brand’s largest retail locations in the U.S.

With a wide range of world-class stores, restaurants, and cultural spaces, The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards will create a new neighborhood anchor on the west side of Manhattan, designed by architectural firm Elkus Manfredi. MUJI Hudson Yards will make sleek, affordable, and design-minded wares available to shoppers in the new district, expanding the experience with the serene, organized, and intentional quality for which the brand is known.

“As MUJI builds relationships with consumers across the US, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to open retail locations where Americans browse, shop, and experience new goods. It is exciting to be a part of the new Hudson Yards development – especially on The Floor of Discovery – which is sure to become a new, central shopping and cultural destination for New York locals and visitors alike,” noted MUJI North America president Toru Akita.

MUJI is located on the second floor of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, dubbed The Floor of Discovery, as it will house a unique grouping of first locations from digitally native brands and experiential shopping offerings from modern companies including Milk & Honey Babies; Stance; B8ta; Frankie; L’Oreal; Uniqlo; and AG Jeans by Adriano Goldschmied.

In addition to its standard offering of expertly designed, simple essentials, MUJI Hudson Yards will feature a handful of special features and services including:

Embroidery Service
MUJI’s embroidery service allows customers to choose from over 300 embroidered designs and letters to add to any of the brand’s clothing or textile items. The station is great for monogramming and creating personalized gifts.
